CheckBoxes Overview

RadTreeView provides checkboxes displayed next to each node. Enable this behavior by setting the CheckBoxes property of the RadTreeView to True. Disable the checkbox for a particular node by setting the Checkable property of the Node to False. Retrieve all checked nodes on postback by using the CheckedNodes property of the RadTreeView; CheckedNodes returns a generic list of RadTreeNode objects. Use the NodeCheck server event to automatically postback when a Node is checked. If you need to disable postback for certain Nodes, you can use the OnClientNodeChecking event and call set_cancel(true) in the event handler.

• See the Using Checkboxes Server-Side topic for more information on configuring checkbox behavior and manipulating checkboxes on postback.

• See the Using Checkboxes Client-Side topic for more information on configuring checkbox behavior and responding instantly to check events on the client without postback.

For topics covering common checkbox scenarios, see the following:

• To see how to check all child Nodes of a clicked parent node, see the Checking All Child Nodes topic. This topic is also useful for setting a property for all members of a client-side Nodes collection.

• To have checkboxes behave like radio buttons (i.e. only one checkbox can be checked at a time), see the Checkbox RadioButton Behavior topic.

• Unchecking Parent Nodes when a Child Node has been unchecked.
